dwm crashes on Manjaro - How can I debug dwm? #494

Closed IvoLeist closed 4 years ago

IvoLeist commented 4 years ago

Hi Luke,

I stumbled over your youtube channel while searching for videos explaining zsh Clicking through your channell the suckless software hooked me immediately. So I gave your LARBS voidrice a chance.

long story short i3 works flawlessly 💯 dwm unfortunately not

Loggin to my system in console mode and executing startx shows the GUI for a second before it crashes with a lot of errors:

/.local/bin/setbg: line 11: type: wal: not found sh: crypto command not found .local/bin/statusbar/volume: line 19 : [:46 integer expression expected cat: /sys/class/power_supply//capacity: No such file or directory dwm: fatal error: request code=139 error code=16 etc

How can I debug dwm ?

Best regards, Ivo

  1. pywal needs to be installed. Whoever added the addition didnt check their logic. Check here

  2. For the crypto package, not too sure.

  3. Status bar error due to bad shell programming. Try plugging the script into shellcheck.

  4. There is some code in battery which doesnt exist for some reason on your system. Again, bad shell programming.

Id suggest fixing the issues with some if/else bash conditionals to check if the files exist and deal with it.

I'm still finalizing the current dwm bulid right now. The errors from the statusbar shouldn't be fatal though (most of them are supposed to happen because they are checking for batteries, etc.), there is probably some other issue going on.

If you run pacman -Qm libxft-bgra, does anything show up? If not, run yay -S libxft-bgra.

The volume error I suppose is related to Manjaro using pulseaudio by default. I should probably work in dealing with that automatically since there are so many people who use it.

@vladdoster thank you for your suggestions especially for showing me shellcheck never used it but I guess it will come handy on day. (Btw. the link is wrong: https://www.shellcheck.net/)

@LukeSmithxyz thanks a lot for resolving that issue so quickly yay -S libxft-bgra did the trick. Unfortunately I had to remove libxft so fingers-crossed that this did not break anything important.

hi guys, libxft-bgra doesn't get installed when installin LARBS, possibly due to a conflict with libxft and yay doesn't allow the --noconfirm when there is a conflict so it just skips the package (or i dunno how to make it to allow to solve the conflict with --noconfirm) ... you need to install it and it should work after

LukeSmithxyz commented 4 years ago

I didn't realize that --noconfirm didn't work in this case. I suppose I could change it to yes | yay -S, but I'm trying to think of a circumstance where that might break...
